Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““shall be punished by a fine ... or imprisonment . . . provided, that ... after conviction, instead of imposing the punishment hereinbefore provided . . . the court in its discretion . . . shall have the power to pass an order . . . directing the defendant to pay a certain sum weekly for the space of one year to the wife, and to release the defendant from custody on probation for the space of one year. ... If the court be satisfied . . . that the defendant has violated the terms of such order, it may forthwith . . . sentence him under the original conviction.””
